A Sunday email to a U.S. Attorney's Office spokesperson in Boston was returned with a promise to pass along any information that becomes available.

ADAMS, Mass. — The FBI was at 10 Murray St. late Saturday evening for undisclosed reasons. 

About eight people, some wearing navy blue T-shirts with "FBI Emergency Response Team" on the back, could be seen going in and out of the multi-family house through a side entrance off the driveway.

The officials worked out of two black sport utility vehicles parked in the driveway with a blue pop-up tent parked between the SUVs and the residence. 

Both Adams Police and Fire Departments were on scene. 

Adams Police Chief Richard Tarsa at about 9:15 p.m. said that he was not authorized to share any information. After consulting with one of the FBI agents on scene, Tarsa referred all questions to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Springfield. 

Tarsa did say that no area residents were evacuated as a result of the activity. The road remained open to car traffic at all times. 

A large Magnum floodlight was on scene to illuminate the activity in the driveway. 

According to activity heard on the police scanner, Adams' ambulance service had a staging area on nearby Croteau Street. No medical personnel were present at 10 Murray St. shortly after 9 p.m.

This story will be updated as new information is available.

Letter: A Standing Ovation for The Adams Theater

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I recently attended the performance of "Selected Shorts" at the Adams Theater, and I left feeling incredibly grateful for what this venue has brought to our community. As I sat listening to Brooke Adams, David Strathairn, and Tony Shalhoub bring short stories to life on stage, I was struck not only by the extraordinary talent before us, but by the vision and dedication that made such an evening possible in the Town of Adams.

In just five years, Yina Moore and her team have transformed the former movie house at 27 Park Street from a vacant building in need of major renovation into a vibrant cultural destination for North Berkshire. Today, the theater offers an impressive range of programming — live music, theater, dance, comedy, spoken word events, and community programs — truly creating something for everyone.

The Adams Theater is more than just a performance venue; it is a testament to what passion, creativity, and investment in community can accomplish. Bravo to Yina Moore, the staff, volunteers, and Board members who continue to make the arts accessible and thriving in our region.
